| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Hazy orangey-golden. Drool...deep rich orangey, yuzu-y simcoe nose. I like that. Rich, resiny, orangey...just some good clean IPA fun. Solid pale malt underpinning is perfect. Slightly sticky finish. iride15 (171), Orlando, Florida, USA

Small head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, hazy, no carbonation observed, and an orangish hue. Nose was hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, and caramel. Ditto for the flavor. Smooth mouthfeel and light-medium in body.Quaffable for the style and not over-the-top hops IMO.Would drink again and worthy of a try. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA

It’s all about the hops. Good initial taste, with a strong hop follow-up. If you are a true hophead, you need to try this beer! The simcoe hop is the key here. To me, this is a special, special hop, and it is really showcased here. Sparky27 (1596), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 18, 2008 Bottle as a gift courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a cloudy amber with an initial 1 finger head that dissipates into a foamy top layer lacing my glass nicely. Nose is pineapple, pine and malt. Palate is pineapple and caramel malt up front with pine and bitter hop finish. Creamy mouth feel. Alcohol is nicely hidden at the 9% abv. I liked this a lot. Thanks again Gabe!

Awesome aroma, tons of pine and some hints of citrus. Love the texture of this beer too. Flavor is piney hops with a hint of vanilla towards the end. Nice bitterness. Good beer.
